Fell in love with Antimony reading The Disappearing Spoon by Sam Kean.

lyrics

ANTIMONY

Antimony - oh you make me beautiful
Antimony - but you're no good
I wanna paint you on my face like a Pharaoh
Because you're givin' me the magic power in my eyes
And you're actin' on me all the while

Antimony - oh you got some toxic properties - Antimony
When Old King Nebuchadnezzar got done with his Hanging Gardens
He said "Let's paint this whole damn palace yellow! Antimony yellow"
Turns out you drove him mad tho'
Yeah. Soon old king was sleepin' in the fields
Eating the grasses with the oxen
You were noxious all along

So it ain't just me and Nefertiti
No. Pharaoh's Black Kohl, Mad King's Yellow
Shoot off sparks like a tiger in the sky
No good for money cause you don't hold up
But you got the royal power of the Horus Eye

To the alchemist you were almost gold
Jezebel's mascara - Newton's aphrodisiac
Why did Mozart die? Because he took too many Antimony fever pills
Are you gonna cure?
Are you gonna cause my ills?
Toxic makeup - toxic medicine - really ain't nowhere you haven't been

And you're actin on me all the while
Antimony - you got your inky fingers on me and I can't get free - Antimony
I wanna paint you on my face like a Pharaoh
Cause you're givin' me the magic power in my eyes
Oh and you're actin' on me all the while
Actin' on me all the while
Antimony

Tendril Seattle, Washington

A few years back Stephanie and Dean wrote a couple songs together. It was so much fun, we decided to do a bunch more. Turned out to be a great way of processing the present day. We hope these songs help you stay sane too!
